Dragonflight is catering too much to seasonal players—here’s why it’s an issue

When World of Warcraft Dragonflight season two started on May 9, I didn’t have much to do except to run a couple of Mythic+ dungeons a day to increase my rating. It was hard to pinpoint what exactly changed this season, but when I read Max “Maximum” Smith’s tweet explaining how Blizzard Entertainment is simply catering too much to seasonal players, it became clear this could harm the game in the long run.

If you were like me and couldn’t be separated from Dragonflight in season one, you most likely started the new season with 420 item-level gear and immediately jumped into Heroic Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible, and +15 runs. Before you know it, you have your bags full of Shadowflame Crests, and your bucket list for this season is already ticked off. You’re not alone.
